Apostle of Cthulhu

Woo~~~Woo~~~~

The melodious whistle sounded into the ears of everyone present.

After confirming that the key was dead, Joe, Norris, Jia and Bai Fuli all came to Si Wei. They did not keep too much distance from Si Wei at the beginning, after all, there were two people who were going to board the ship.

Norris looked at the charred corpse on the ground expressionlessly and said, "What a pitiful guy, but at least he has escaped his fate as a tool."

"Whether it is pitiful or not is just based on personal concepts." Joe added, "I personally don't sympathize with this guy. To live, he needs to devour other creatures, which is no different from humans. In this case, he is not worthy of my pity."

Bai Fuli said: "It sounds like you have a lot of complaints about humans, but aren't you a member of the human race? Wait... Could it be..."

Bai Fuli seemed to have guessed something. If Joe didn't want to associate with humans, but couldn't get rid of his identity as a human, then there was only one way.

Climb to the top of the Balem Net, transcend humans, and become an "unknown" existence.

So this guy's ambition is so big? I didn't see it before, and I thought he was just a pure-hearted painter. I didn't expect that he wanted to transcend humans.

Qiao didn't express any denial or approval of Bai Fuli's wild thoughts. Since the other party wanted to guess blindly, he was willing to let the other party be trapped in the restricted area of ​​thinking and logic and waste his own time.

Jia stared at Bai Fuli for a long time without saying anything.

Si Wei also didn't say anything. His eyes always stayed on the rusty ship.

This ship looks a bit old. The numbers and paint on it have been polished by wind and sun to the point that they are almost unclear and can't even be identified.

But on the side of the fully loaded ship, there are a few big words written in words that only Si Wei can recognize.

"Halaya".

Is this a ship named after the ancient city of Haleiya? Si Wei is not sure about this, but since this Haleiya is related to the Coffin of Haleiya, it must have a certain relationship with the past of the ancient city of Haleiya.

Si Wei turned his head and looked at Norris, who was crossing his arms, and Joe, who was fixing his hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"You shouldn't ask me this question." Norris answered directly, "As a tomb robber who frequently deals with the 'unknown', I am always ready."

Joe smiled lightly and answered in the same way, "My answer is not much different from his. We are missionaries, aren't we?"

Si Wei nodded, and the Halea gently approached the shore of the pier. Baifuli brought a ladder with a pulley from somewhere, leaned it against the hull of the Haleiya, and said, "You go up from here. Although I don't know what will happen next, it's best if only the three of you go up on this ship."

Jia put her hair behind her ear, held down the hair on the other side that was blown by the sea breeze, and said to Siwei, "I'll go back first. You guys concentrate on completing your own things and don't worry about me."

"Okay, be careful." Siwei said, and took the lead to step onto the ladder, approaching the Haleiya step by step.

Joe said to Baifuli, "Thank you for your help. By the way, have you finished your work?"

"My efficiency is faster than you think," Baifuli didn't even bother to answer his question, "Take care of yourself, young master."

Joe smiled awkwardly, waved to Baifuli, and followed Siwei's steps to board the ship.

Norris followed Joe's steps to the ladder, turned his head and glanced at Baifuli standing beside him, as if he had something to say.

Baifuli looked up, glanced at him with an unhappy look, and said unkindly, "What?"

"Nothing, there are some things you'd better not know." Norris deliberately yawned, "Sometimes the ignorant are happier, this is almost becoming an eternal theorem."

"If you think this riddler's way can disturb my mood, then you are wrong." Baifuli replied, "I won't even take your words to heart, because you are just a wanted criminal."

Norris shrugged, too lazy to say more nonsense, and boarded the Harlea.

When the three of them got on board, the thick whistle of Harlea sounded again. A large amount of steam gushed out, and the hull once again moved on the calm sea.

Witnessing the ship gradually moving away, Baifuli also turned sideways and looked at Jia, who looked indifferent.

"Now, Miss Greenwell, can you explain to me why you are here?"

Jia fiddled with her hair with two fingers and answered absentmindedly: "Do I need to answer your question?"

"Marz is dead," Baifuli said directly without any preparation, "I blew his head with a whalebone bullet in his own apartment. I don't want you to be the next soul to be killed by my gun, you should know this very well."

With a bit of impatience in her eyes, Jia raised her head and looked into Baifuli's eyes, "I don't need your generosity. Your failure to accept the death penalty has nothing to do with me. I have said this a long time ago. I have no say in the Pantheon, and it is not me who saved you."

Beverly said: "No matter what, you are my benefactor. I will never forget the kindness you showed me in the city of Haleiya. But this is definitely not a reason for you to stay with Professor Siwei. As a pioneer in the field of R'lyeh culture, Professor Siwei will attract countless conspiracies from those in power. I don't want you to be involved."

"When I chose him, I was already involved in many conspiracies, but I just didn't want to deal with them one by one." Jia rubbed her temples and felt that the conversation with Baifuli was becoming more and more difficult. "I have seen your acting skills when you met us, but you can't fool Joe Rupert and Norris Anderson. You can't predict the cunningness of these two people."

"Really? I know Joe Rupert inside and out, and Norris Anderson is just a tomb robber. Both the Empire and the Pantheon are looking for him. Sooner or later, he will be killed because of these troubles."

Hearing this, Jia looked at Baifuli deeply.

"So... is that what you think?"

"Is there any problem?" Bai Fuli, who had no idea about the situation, asked in confusion.

Jia sighed and shook her head, "Forget it, the ignorant are fearless, and I have no way to explain these things to you.

"In short, the farther you stay away from these three people, the better. Otherwise, you will only fall into the abyss of madness and will never be able to find the...'truth' you are pursuing."
